Guindy (Tamil: கிண்டி) is one of the important neighbourhoods of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. It is located in the South-Western part of the city. It is the entry point or the gateway to Chennai city from the Southern parts of Tamil Nadu and the South Western suburbs of Chennai. The Kathipara junction (where Anna Salai, NH 47 and 100 Feet Road meet) located here is one of the important nodal points of road traffic in the Chennai metropolitan area. This junction serves as the entry point to the city limits from the suburbs. It is surrounded by Saidapet in the north, Kotturpuram and Adyar towards the east, Velachery in the south and Adambakkam and St. Thomas Mount in the west. Guindy is home to many important landmarks in the city, and the most famous amongst them is home to the Guindy National Park - the only National Park in the country within city limits.
